FDA and FTC just told ex Saint Kyle Turley to STFU

Former New Orleans Saints offensive lineman Kyle Turley is in hot water with the Food and Drug Administration and the Federal Trade Commission after he and his company NeuroXPF have claimed that CBD can "kill COVID-19," according to a joint letter the two organizations sent Turley on March 31.
The FDA and FTC explicitly cited two posts in the letter from the NeuroXPF website and Twitter from March 23 and March 27, but alluded that Turley had made multiple other claims of the same vein.
One of the posts read, "Crush Corona! Your best defense against the COVID-19 blitz starts with a strong immune system. It’s what protects your body from the everyday attacks of bacteria, viruses, parasites and a host of other nasties."
The FDA and FTC said the posts are in violation of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and are also misbranded.

According to the letter, Turley’s website claimed that CBD could boost users’ immune systems, and enable them to fight off coronavirus.
“Your website offers cannabidiol (CBD) products for sale in the United States and that these products are intended to mitigate, prevent, treat, diagnose, or cure COVID-19 in people,” the letter reads. “We request that you take immediate action to cease the sale of such unapproved and unauthorized products for the mitigation, prevention, treatment, diagnosis, or cure of COVID-19.”
Turley was to respond to the letter within 48 hours, meaning an April 2 deadline. Failure to respond to the violations in the letter "may result in legal action, including, without limitation, seizure and injunction."
Turley wrote in a letter posted to his personal Twitter account on April 4 that he has relieved himself from his "capital approach, duties and direct involvement and associations to the companies" he's helped build, including NeuroXPF.
"Because of this I inform you that I will now be strictly operating as a private citizen without the restriction of speech to continue my dedication to the ongoing fight against COVID-19," Turley wrote.

Turley has continued tweeting about how CBD will "cure COVID-19" and "kill COVID-19" from his personal account.

he always has been an idiot with a screw loose
he got saints logo tattooed on his leg thinking that would force the saints to resign him (he said this himself in an interview about why he did it), but they just said bye bye to him a few months later at the beginning of the next season
